GAME 17 SET-UP #6/6 Tennessee (14-2, 4-0 SEC) plays the second of three consecutive road games, traveling to “The Loveliest Village On The Plains” to face Auburn (9-8, 0-4 SEC) on Thursday at 7 p.m. CT/8 p.m. ET at Auburn Arena. This is the 50th meeting between these schools, with UT holding a 39-10 record in the series and a 12-4 mark at Auburn. The game will be televised by FOX SportSouth, with Jenn Hildreth and Brittany Jackson on hand to call the action. The contest also can be seen online via ESPN3, although the broadcast will be blacked out within the states included in the SEC footprint. A “Watch Live” link can be found on the Lady Vol Hoops Central page on UTSports.com. Mickey Dearstone’s Lady Vol Network call can be heard on the radio on network stations statewide in Tennessee and via audio stream worldwide on UTSports.com. The Lady Vols enter the contest riding a 10-game winning streak after overcoming a pair of nine-point second-half deficits in Fayetteville on Sunday to stave off the upsetminded Arkansas Razorbacks, 60-51. Senior guard Ariel Massengale keyed the comeback, draining four three-pointers in the second half and jump-starting a UT offense that shot 21.4% in the first stanza and then 52.4% over the final 20 minutes. Tennessee has not lost since dropping back-to-back road games at Chattanooga (67-63) on Nov. 26 and #6/9 Texas (72-59) on Nov. 30, without Isabelle Harrison. The Lady Vols have won a league-best 11 consecutive contests over SEC opponents, beginning with its last game vs. Auburn (W, 93-63) in Knoxville on Feb. 20, 2014. The 4-0 league start this season leaves the Big Orange women in a tie with South Carolina atop the SEC standings, entering Thursday’s games as the only remaining unbeaten teams in conference play. Auburn, meanwhile, enters on a fivegame losing skid, dropping its first four SEC contests. Three of those came against ranked teams, and they'll face another Thursday night against #6/6 Tennessee. The Tigers led #20/19 Georgia by as many as 11 points in the first half and were within three points with 34 seconds remaining before the Lady Bulldogs iced the game at the free throw line. Tennessee and Auburn have one common foe this season, as the Lady Vols blasted Winthrop at home, 81-48, on Nov. 21, while Auburn dropped a 56-54 decision at Winthrop on Nov. 29. AU has played four nonconference teams - Troy, Virginia, St. John’s and SMU - that UT played last season.
